Free-agent wide receiver Cecil Shorts has agreed to a two-year deal with the Houston Texans, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Caplan.

FF Today's Take:You can pencil in Shorts opposite DeAndre Hopkins in the Texans starting lineup. He's yet to back up his breakout performance in 2012 (55-979-7) and has developed the injury-prone tag thanks to nagging lower leg injuries. Shorts was bothered by a hamstring injury during camp last season and missed three games at the start of the season. With Hopkins expected to dominate targets, Shorts will be nothing more than a late-round flier in fantasy leagues this summer.

On if he would welcome back suspended receiver Justin Blackmon if he’s reinstated:
“Absolutely. As a matter of fact, I’m very optimistic. I think he’s paid his dues. I think he’s got his life together. I think he can be a role model for people who have gone through hard times. We’re waiting for him.”(Florida Times Union)

FF Today's Take:Speaking at the Super Bowl festivities, Jacksonville owner Shad Khan seems positive about Blackmon who is currently suspended infinitely and it remains unclear when he will apply for reinstatement. Allen Robinson (foot) and Cecil Shorts (free agent) are currently sitting atop the depth chart.
